Get enough sleep

For a very long time, inadequate sleep has been linked to memory loss. Memory consolidation, the process through which short-term memories are reinforced and converted into long-lasting memories, is significantly influenced by sleep.

According to research, not getting enough sleep may have an adverse effect on your memory. For instance, one research examined the impact of sleep on 40 kids between the ages of 10 and 14. One group of kids had training for memory tests in the evening, then tested the following morning after a night’s sleep. The other group did not have any rest in between training and testing; they were done on the same day. The memory tests were 20% more effective for the group that slept in between training and testing. For adults, health professionals recommend between 7 and 9 hours of sleep every night for best health.
